Wavetable Synthesizers

Haha, well that's quite ironic.

One thing I love to do is mess with the readout on single cycle waveforms. Usually waveforms are read with a simple linear ramp, but messing with that ramp can give some interesting results. Like, bending the ramp by simply multiplying it by itself a bunch of times = instant PWM on any waveform. PWM like that used on a a (co)sine used as a phase modulation modulator sounds amazing.

That's the definition of Phase Distortion. Casio back then only used cosine waveforms and linear phase segments, but really one can apply any function of phase to any waveform.

Yep! Even simple stuff like filtering the ramp can sound amazing. Things really start to get interesting once feedback of some kind is introduced, maybe even with some delay, reverb or whatnot
It's certainly not how PD was to supposed to be used, but who cares

I tend to use it mostly on sine-ish waveforms, because just like in FM, more complex waveforms can get out of hand quickly
